Product details
Overview
PI74FCT16244ATVE from Pericom Semiconductor is a non-inverting 16-bit buffer/line driver with quad-nibble 3-state control, designed for high-capacitance backplane and bus interface applications. It delivers ±32mA/64mA output drive (IOH/ IOL), supports live insertion via power-off disable, and operates at 5V ±10% with input hysteresis and typical ground bounce <1.0V.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT16244ATVE datasheet, PI74FCT16244ATVE pinout, PI74FCT16244ATVE application, or PI74FCT16244ATVE equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (tPZH ≤ 4.4ns), propagation delay (tPLH ≤ 3.2ns), output skew (≤0.5ns), and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low 3-state output enable (xOE). Its flow-through pinout minimizes trace crossing in backplane routing, and the power-off disable feature ensures outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0V - critical for hot-swap board insertion.
The PI74FCT16244ATVE uses Fast CMOS technology with TTL-compatible inputs and balanced drive strength optimized for low ground bounce. It does not include current-limiting resistors (unlike the PI74FCT162244T), enabling higher peak drive but requiring external termination in impedance-sensitive interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5.0V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and industrial 5V systems |
| IOH / IOL | –32mA / 64mA - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >100pF buses) without signal degradation |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤3.2ns @ CL=50pF - enables >300MHz data throughput in synchronous bus designs |
| tPZH / tPHZ | ≤4.4ns / ≤4.3ns - supports fast enable/disable sequencing in multi-drop timing-critical systems |
| VOLP (Ground Bounce) | <1.0V @ TA=25°C - reduces noise coupling into adjacent signal or power domains |
| Input Hysteresis | 100mV - improves noise immunity on slow-rising or noisy control lines (e.g., board-level OE signals) |
| CIN / COUT | 4.5pF / 5.5pF typical - low input loading preserves signal integrity on fan-out-heavy nodes |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin plastic TSSOP (240-mil wide, package code A), Pb-free & Green compliant (E suffix), 0.5mm pitch, 7.6mm × 12.5mm body size.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low 3-state enable inputs | Independent control per 4-bit nibble - enables flexible bus segmentation and partial driving |
| 1A0–1A3, 2A0–2A3, 3A0–3A3, 4A0–4A3 | Non-inverting input terminals | 16 total inputs mapped to corresponding nibble groups - supports flow-through layout with minimal layer transitions |
| 1Y0–1Y3, 2Y0–2Y3, 3Y0–3Y3, 4Y0–4Y3 | Non-inverting 3-state outputs | 16 buffered outputs with rail-to-rail swing - maintains logic levels across long traces or unterminated stubs |
| VCC (Pins 7, 15, 23, 31, 39) | Power supply connections | Five distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve PSRR in high-speed switching |
| GND (Pins 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41) | Ground return connections | Six GND pins provide low-inductance return paths - essential for minimizing simultaneous switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-off disable | Outputs go high-Z when VCC = 0V - enables safe live insertion into powered backplanes without bus contention |
| Flow-through pinout | Inputs and outputs aligned on opposite sides - eliminates vias and crossovers in dense 16-bit bus routing |
| TTL-compatible inputs with hysteresis | VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max, 100mV hysteresis - robust against EMI and slow-edge control signals |
| High-current drive asymmetry | 64mA sink vs. 32mA source - optimized for driving capacitive loads where pull-down dominates settling time |
Applications
| Backplane Interface Driver | Industrial Bus Repeater |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit parallel address/data bus across 15cm+ backplane with >80pF total load capacitance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting buffer with per-nibble 3-state control - isolates segments during arbitration and enables hot-swap expansion cards. Use Value: 64mA sink current ensures fast LOW-to-HIGH transition recovery after heavy capacitive charging; tPHZ ≤ 4.3ns prevents output glitches during enable/disable transitions. | Use Scenario: Repeating RS-485 or CAN controller signals between isolated zones in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting and fan-out buffer - translates 3.3V controller outputs to 5V bus voltage while providing 16mA margin per line. Use Value: Input hysteresis rejects common-mode noise on factory-floor wiring; low ground bounce (<1.0V) prevents false triggering of downstream receivers. |
| Test Equipment Signal Conditioning | Legacy System Bus Extender |
Use Scenario: Conditioning 16-bit DUT interface signals in automated test equipment with mixed-voltage probe cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional buffer with independent nibble enables - synchronizes signal capture windows across multiple DUT channels. Use Value: 3.2ns max propagation delay enables sub-300ps timing resolution; flow-through pinout simplifies probe card layout and reduces skew between channels. | Use Scenario: Extending ISA or VMEbus signals from motherboard to mezzanine cards in avionics subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-drive bus driver with live-insertion support - allows field-replaceable I/O modules without system shutdown. Use Value: Power-off disable prevents backfeeding into powered backplane; 5V tolerance ensures compatibility with legacy 5V-only peripherals. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit non-inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT16244CPAG | Same pinout, identical DC specs, but slower max speed grade (–C vs –A); tPLH ≤ 4.1ns | Limited to ≤250MHz bus operation; unsuitable for high-frequency backplane timing margins | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs timing headroom requirements |
| 74ALVC16244PW | 3.3V-only supply (1.65–3.6V), lower drive (±24mA), no power-off disable | Requires level translation for 5V systems; incompatible with live-insertion architectures | Choose only for new 3.3V designs where power efficiency and smaller footprint outweigh 5V interoperability |
Compared with SN74FCT16244CPAG and 74ALVC16244PW, the PI74FCT16244ATVE uniquely combines 5V operation, live-insertion capability, and 3.2ns propagation delay - making it the sole option for high-speed, hot-pluggable 5V backplane drivers.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by PI74FCT16244ATVE?
The device does not specify a maximum clock frequency, but its 3.2ns maximum propagation delay (tPLH) and 4.3ns output disable time (tPHZ) support reliable operation in 16-bit parallel buses running up to 300MHz under controlled load conditions (CL ≤ 50pF, RL = 500Ω). Actual usable frequency depends on PCB trace length, termination, and capacitive loading.
Does PI74FCT16244ATVE require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its control inputs?
No. The inputs feature built-in hysteresis (100mV) and guaranteed VIH ≥ 2.0V and VIL ≤ 0.8V at 5V supply, allowing direct connection to standard TTL or CMOS logic outputs without biasing. External resistors are unnecessary unless interfacing with open-drain or high-impedance sources.
Can PI74FCT16244ATVE be used in mixed-voltage systems with 3.3V controllers?
Yes - its inputs are 5V-tolerant and accept 3.3V logic HIGH (VIH min = 2.0V), so it can interface directly with 3.3V microcontrollers or FPGAs. However, outputs swing rail-to-rail at 5V, requiring level translation if driving 3.3V-only receivers.
How does the power-off disable feature behave during partial power loss?
When VCC drops below ~0.5V, all outputs enter high-impedance state regardless of xOE pin state - preventing backfeeding or contention on powered bus segments. This behavior is tested and guaranteed down to VCC = 0V, making it suitable for staged power-down sequences in modular systems.
